Low Speedtest and high Ping XR500 packetloss
Hello, first sorry for my bad english. I buy a XR500, i have a 100k Router and with my Router i always get 80/mbs with the XR500 i got 8-10/mbs. I have the newest Update i reset the Router, ...
Only the XR500 and 2 iPhones are on the Main Router connected.
The Ping on Geo Filter i testet from 1 to 50 all, still the same.
yesterday was so bad, i had 70% packetloss and 300ms Ping, i have 1000h of playtime on CallofDuty and this never happend before, i really have more laggs with this router. i think i will send it back to amazon........ im sad, maybe a netduma r2 are better than this one i dont know ....
Could you please try disconnecting the XR from the modem and if possible connect a laptop or PC to it in the same port, then run a speedtest and see what speeds you get.
past to 60 and in the night i got 10-20 more than 60, with xr i got 10
- Disable QoS completely by clicking the 3 line option menu on Anti-Bufferbloat. Are you testing your speeds anywhere else other than Connection Benchmark? We're still working on improving the speeds reported there. What does speedtest.net say? There aren't any servers in India unfortunately so your ping will be high as you will have to force other countries as you've noticed. I would suggest ALL devices be connected to the XR otherwise it can't control the network as efficiently and those devices will also pull speed away from the router. Where are you measuring the packet loss and ping? What is the model of your modem?
